Vladimir Putin has said he will fire more of Russia's new hypersonic missiles at targets in Ukraine.

The Russian president added that his country has already begun mass production of the nuclear-capable weapon.

Putin also said that Moscow would carry out more tests of the hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile in 'combat conditions,' a day after firing one on Ukraine.

'We will continue these tests, including in combat conditions, depending on the situation and character of the security threats posted to Russia,' he said in a televised meeting with military chiefs.

Putin said that while it isn't an intercontinental missile, it's so powerful that the use of several of them fitted with conventional warheads in one attack could be as devastating as a strike with strategic - or nuclear - weapons.

Russia fired the new-generation missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro early Thursday in a major escalation of the weaponry being deployed in the nearly three-year conflict.

The Kremlin boss also ordered the missile, which flies at speeds of Mach 10 - 10 times the speed of sound - to be put into serial production. Russia is developing similar advanced systems, he added.

'We need to begin serial production. The decision... has in effect been taken,' Putin said, praising the 'particular strength of this weapon and its power.

'The weapon system that was tested yesterday is another faithful guarantee of Russia's territorial integrity and sovereignty,' he added.

Putin claimed no other countries in the world had such missile technology.

While he conceded other states would soon develop them, he said: 'That will be tomorrow, after a year or two. But we have this system now. That's important.'

Clearly Putin is bluffing

Russia is on the verge of collapse, Russians are stupid and can’t ever have better technology than the American MIC, Putin is nearly dead, and these phony “sky lights” were fake and a cheap light show.

Oh, and North Koreans something too.

Do I have it right, Mucus?

From the video I saw his “warheads” didn’t even explode when they hit the ground. Just some lights falling out of the sky.

Good luck shooting down missiles coming in from space at Mach whatever.

That's cold comfort.

It's a demonstration to War Pigs like you that they can precisely plant a nuke within inches of a target anywhere they chose.

But you won't be happy until they start tipping them with nukes so you can have the nuclear war you want so badly.
